    WOW…. Instant fave my friend!!
    That drop is so clear.. how did you do that?!?

  • Shelly Hiebert replied

    Oh thanks Nat! Ummmm….how did I do that? Welllll, just a lot of shots and timing and patience really :) Thanks for the great comment and the fave :)

    You got a perfect shot!! I love that star just over the drop (part of your backdrop) – fits so well into the composition.
    Flash to the right. What shutter speed?

  • Shelly Hiebert replied

    Yay! My technical guy likes it! And yes, the flash was to the right and the shutter speed was 1/125 sec, f/10, but the ISO isn’t showing on the info….not sure why that would be. Is the star distracting? Thanks for commenting Vikram :)
